Trust me pal you need all the money you can get your hands on
Do the two finalists even get the gate money? It seems strange if they do, and I don't believe they do. They get prize money, not sure how much it is for runners-up, but there is no way they should gt the split of the gates. It is an RFL staged event, and like the play-offs the RFL should get the money and pay the prize money.
Up to half of that crowd are neutrals too.
